Interwiki prefixes for languages using LanguageConverter.php
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Hallo!

So far I am aware that only [[zh:]] and [[sr:]] are using LanguageConverter.php
at Wikimedia Foundation wikies. Beside these I have seen a testwiki using
LanguageConverter.php for Moldovan converting Latin and Cyrillic scrips. More
projects will use LanguageConverter.php in the future.

However the url from above shows that only
[[zh-cn:]] and [[zh-tw:]] are interwiki / interlanguage prefixes but *not*
[[sr-ec:]], [[sr-el:]], [[sr-jc:]] and [[sr-jl:]].

This does not seem consistent. Linking to a script variant in Chinese is
possible via wiki links but linking to a script variant in Serbian is *not*.

*request*
I thing it would be a good policy to provide script variant interlanguage links
for all projects in the future.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

does not work at MediaZilla; trying here

[[zh:Main_Page]]
[[zh-cn:Main_Page]]
[[zh-tw:Main_Page]]
[[sr:Main_Page]]
[[sr-ec:Main_Page]]
[[sr-el:Main_Page]]
[[sr-jc:Main_Page]]
[[sr-jl:Main_Page]]

There are no such variant links; zh-tw and zh-cn interwiki
prefixes are obsolete leftovers from before variant display
support existed.
